REVIEW: Great pitch, Brian! As a long-time career coach with a bit of experience in using VR to prep interviewees, I was very interested in the InnerVisions VR solution. I also have lots of anecdotal experience that supports your pain point regarding the ineffectiveness of the traditional job interview process. This personal interest might have led me to have a positive bias toward your elevator pitch but I do think it did a good job of articulating the issue and the solution. I also think that it marketed you well as a CEO with 15 years of relevant industry experience and a warm, professional image on the closing slide. In terms of the venture pitch, I appreciated your thorough and concise analysis using the Cube Framework. It effectively addresses many of the questions that are posed by EVAs. I agree with the other comments that have already been mentioned in terms of broadening the market beyond education, and identifying more about the technical expertise that will drive its success. I also wonder about strategies to make InnerVisions VR even more of a time-saving solution for the recruitment process. Could future phases of the business include the provision of a selection of simulations from which buyers could choose, rather than having to engage in a consultancy phase? I imagine that you could do this after developing simulations within a cross-section of industries, and perhaps you could start with education. I also wonder if there could be some way for InnerVisions VR to be marketed as a pre-screening interview tool; something that would help organizations to better utilize the resources involved in the in-person interview process by only interviewing those who have been determined to be appropriate according to their performance in the simulation. Also, given that “fit” is often the piece that is difficult to assess until the new hire is actually on the job, it could also be valuable to include some element of this in this simulation development process. Simulation characters that represent personality types could be a way to address this, although I admit that this would certainly be a complex feature. You can see that you’ve sparked my thinking, though! If you could open the concept up to markets beyond education, I would consider investing!
